question text	Her Majesty's Government whether primary legislation is required to introduce the National Funding Formula for Schools in England.
tabling member printed	Lord Watson of Invergowrie
uin	HL285
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/07/2017 answer text <p>We believe that the current funding arrangements are unfair and we remain committed to changing them. We will work with Parliament to bring forward proposals that command a consensus. We are considering the more than 25,000 responses we received to the second stage to National Funding Formula consultation, and will publish our response in due course.</p><p> </p><p>As set out in the first stage to the consultation, a national funding formula – one which would directly set the budget for each school – would remove the requirement for local authorities to set a local schools funding formula. Removing the requirement for local authorities to set local formulae would require a change to the School Standards and Framework Act 1998.</p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 05/07/2017 15:59:40 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the impact of the freeze on housing benefit rates, combined with an extended benefit cap and rising rents, on homeless families, and especially children, in particular in cases where local authorities have to place families in temporary housing far away from their local areas.
tabling member printed	Lord Ouseley
uin	HL285
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/06/2016 answer text <p>The Government routinely publishes cumulative analysis of the impacts of its tax, welfare and public spending policies on households. The most recent assessment was published at Budget 2016 and is available on gov.uk. Nevertheless, such static analysis is limited in that it cannot robustly capture the behavioural changes encouraged by these policies. Considering welfare measures in isolation, such as Housing Benefit changes, would fail to recognise the impacts of tax and spending decisions such as the increase to the personal allowance and the provision of early years’ childcare, which are benefitting families up and down the country.</p> answering member printed Lord Freud question first answered 07/06/2016 11:00:54 answering member 3893 label Biography information for Lord Freud
